Gene information for OGFR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11054
Official gene symbolOGFR
Full nameopioid growth factor receptor
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for opioid growth factor (OGF), also known as [Met(5)]-enkephalin. OGF is a negative regulator of cell proliferation and tissue organization in a variety of processes. The encoded unbound receptor for OGF has been localized to the outer nuclear envelope, where it binds OGF and is translocated into the nucleus. The coding sequence of this gene contains a polymorphic region of 60 nt tandem imperfect repeat units. Several transcripts containing between zero and eight repeat units have been reported.
